Is the knee rest too long if you have a boot on your foot?

No my husband has to wear a vaco cast pro/achilles boot. It is huge. You can google it and see pics of the boot. My husband loves his knee walker. It is so much safer than crutches. And he does not have sore hands and arm pits from "crutching around" I hope this answers your question.

No, I have worn a boot the last week and a half and it's been fine. If your non weight bearing this is absolutely worth the money. I could still do household chores and function almost normally. I also have crutches and used a couple of times but this is just more stable and I felt so much more "normal" on this then I did crutches. I give this on a scale of 1-10 a 20!!

I bought this originally for my mom who had extensive surgery on her foot and was in a cast and then boot and then walking boot for a period of three months. She used it during all three and loved the ease she had of getting around the house as it still hurt to walk. She gave the scooter to a friend of hers who went through bunion surgery and had a boot on her foot and she loved it too.

No, I had a cast & boot. The cut out seat makes it very comfortable. First walker I had was a long flat seat. Horrible. PT in hospital showed me this one. Medicare doesn't cover. Rental was $150 @ month. Hence the awesome Amazon purchase.

I do not think it is too long, I have a cast half way up to my knee and it works well, I do not use the entire pad, I position my knee in the center. Sometimes, I will put my foot up to the front of the pad. If you were to use only the rear 1/4 of the pad, I would say that it would be somewhat dangerous as you would not have good stability. Hope this answers your question.

The heel cups will move your foot forward a little in your boot. If you don't have much room in the toe box, I wouldn't try it.

Probably not. It did not work for the shoes I tried it on, but that may have been on account of the shoe leather which had no intention of stretching. One tip that is worth trying is to put rubbing alcohol inside your boot and wearing them for as long as possible.

I found it comfortable to sit on for very short durations. Anything over 15 minutes and it was uncomfortable on my knees. My body geometry might be different than yours so I can't say how it'll work for you.

Yeah.. it might feel a little tight behind the knee though.. but it might depend on how big your legs are... but you should have your knee examined if you are having sharp pains while squatting. You could have something torn and squats even with a brace might make it worse in the long run.

Yes just have to cut a piece a plate below front acles so it doesn't rub a hole in your boot.

I would say no. I did put it up and try my knee in the foot strap and it didn't stay in it. Also, there is not an adjustment for the foot strap so it can't be enlarged. My husband is 6 feet tall and is able to use it by putting his legs out in front of him, not bent to the back. Hope this info helps!

I agree that chair is close to ground, & may cause high knees when feet are placed on the foot rests. Good chair otherwise.

Yes , because I am 5'6" and my heels are over. My knees are bent at any position. This is all with slightly reclined.

No it's putting you knee at risk. The pull can be very strong and stretches really well the entire body. This isn't a good healthy choice in your case. I would look for a sitting position.

I asked my daughter, the one who used the scooter, and she said it's just a matter of placement. She found that if she positioned her knee so that the top edge of the boot landed in the space between cushions with her upper knee (where the greater portion of weight is carried) on the forward cushion then it was fairly comfortable. Hope that helps - and I hope you have a quick recovery!

The boots are quite large and if you can work. It should be clear that if you have to start with a low pressure. should feel comfortable and will be great pressure but decreased, if pain is better discontinue use

I wear them during physical therapy. My educated guess would be "no" in reference to boot-cut jeans. You can adjust the weight. They are bulky enough to be uncomfortable under boot-cut jeans. The All Pro Weight Adjustable Ankle... Were recommended by my PT. I suggest a wardrobe change. Just saying!

Its not the most comforable one ive tried... Not sure there is a really comfy one. They are all hard on your knee.

Does not seem uneven to me. There is a rocking type motion that comes with walking with the boot on. It may feel unusual at first, but I quickly adjusted to the rocking motion.

Yes and yes to both questions. It is very comfortable to walk around in. I fasten it kind of tight when moving around indoors and out. In bed at night I loosen it a bit. I would suggest every so many hours take it off and let knee rest. I only wished I had ordered 2. It really helped my knee replacement where my doc had to shave 2 inches of bone off. U will be pleased.

Sarah I also have PF in both feet and purchased 2 boots - 1 for each foot. I don't know if alternate nights would work for you with a single boot but I can tell when I don't wear the boots even for 1 night.
